BTW, I am quite ""afraid"" of the moment, when people on the left realize, that the people on extreme right are in fact complaining about the same topics, but instead of just balming it all on systematic systems of abstract identities, they blame people who do actually comit evil acts.

Well, "Jews" is still an abstract punching bag because most of them have no involvement in any of this.

If you call a Russian mafia "the russians", is it wrong, only because russian civilians outside of the mafia exist too?

Would you call the objects in this image "red balls", or would you consider that to be misleading, becuase there are red balls, that were not captured by the camera?

While your complaint is valid on a linguistic level, it is so pedantic, that if you used it on literally anything else (except for strict scientific descriptions), people would laugh you out of the room. Words representing groups do have a range of interpretations and both outliers and false inclusions. Everyone knows that at the age of 3.

I know you aren't retarded. In fact, I do like your posts quite often, so let's not lower the debate to the level of kindergarden wordplay.

It looks like a bunch of pixels to me. So do you.

There's a point at which the identity in question becomes too vague and all encompassing to be of relevance to the issue at hand. Like imagine a spam filter that just blocks all incoming email, because all spam is by definition, email.
